13. This kettle is equipped with a safety cut out; protecting the appliance from damage in
case of inappropriate use. Should the appliance be accidentally operated without water
or if all the water has evaporated, the safety cut out will automatically switch off the
heating element.
14. In such a case, remove the plug from the wall socket immediately and wait 15 minutes
for the cut-out to reset before refilling with cold water and boiling.
15. Disconnect the unit from the mains electric supply when not in use.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug from the power outlet, clean the body of the kettle with a damp cloth (to remove
stubborn spots, wipe the surface with a cloth moistened in soapy water of a mild non-
abrasive cleaner) then dry thoroughly.
2. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasives as these will damage the body of the kettle.
Commercially available kettle cleaners are recommended and are available at
supermarkets.
WARNING: Never immerse the kettle, switch area or cord in water, or allow moisture
to come into contact with these parts.
From time to time, depending on the nature of your water supply, lime scale deposits can
naturally form and adhere to the heating element. The amount of lime scale deposits largely
depends on the water hardness in your area and the frequency in which the kettle is used.
Lime scale is not harmful to your health but if poured into your beverage it can give a
powdery taste to your drink. The kettle should be de-scaled periodically as indicated below:
1. Fill the kettle up to the max level with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two
parts water. Switch the kettle on and wait for it to automatically switch off.
2. Let the water/vinegar mixture remain in the kettle overnight.
3. Discard the mixture the next morning and re-fill the kettle to the max level with clean
water and boil again.
4. Discard this boiled water to remove any remaining lime scale and/or vinegar mixture.
5. Rinse the inside of your kettle with clean water. Your kettle is now ready for normal use.
